This year, in honor of Palm Springs Modernism Week, we
feature films about that amazing city's Modernist architects - the hundreds of
mid century houses that survive today.

The story of mid-century modern architect William F. Cody is told through the
iconic buildings that he created and his impact on the architecture of Palm
Springs. Revealing his conceptual designs starting in 1947 and onward into the
70s just before a devastating stroke ended his career. The documentary explores
the art behind his structures and how his buildings are now considered
masterpieces in the modern desert of Palm Springs.

Come early at 7pm and visit with Gwynn Thayer and Todd Kosmerick of NCSU Special
Collections as they share some of the plans and photos from mid-century
Modernist houses and buildings.

Over the course of his sixty-year career, William Krisel has brought modernism
to the masses, designing more than 40,000 individual housing units across the
U.S. Krisel’s influential work has become synonymous with mid-20th century
Southern Californian design. The documentary explores his life and work,
including his roots in 1930s China, his ground-breaking designs for modern
living, and interviews with scholars, contemporaries and family.
